7/1/2023 0 Comments Just Mercy by Bryan StevensonJust Mercy tells about the real-life experiences of the author, a Black public interest lawyer in Alabama and the founder and director of the Equal Justice Initiative, who has dedicated his career to helping the poor and incarcerated -and, specifically, those on death row. A friend recommended the movie, Just Mercy, which was adapted from Bryan Stevenson’s book of the same name. And, if I am going to be an advocate for change and a participant in change, I must be more educated about the societal structures that have allowed these injustices to continue.

In the wake of George Floyd’s death, I’ve made it a point to better educate myself about the injustices experienced by Black, Indigenous and People of Color in the US.
